Traveling with your medical marijuana can some times lead to unwanted problems. Even if you live in an area with established procedures for driving with your medicine, it takes one law enforcement encounter or one overlooked detail to cause you unwanted legal and financial concern.
Assuming when you travel with marijuana you always keep it hidden from plain view and it is stored in your trunk or more than an arm-lengths away from the driver, you can still be questioned in a law enforcement encounter. Remember our medicine is very stinky, and the more effective (or medical) the more it smells.
Michigan criminal defense lawyer Neil Rockind explains, “An officer rarely ever says to a driver, I see marijuana. They usually always say, I smell marijuana.”
While there are a couple of ways to minimize or mask the smell of marijuana, there is one product on the market that guarantees it’s results and can help to keep your medical decision discreet. I have used the bag for the last two weeks and from what I experience, the company’s claims are true. It works, no smell at all.
Smell bags are American made and that quality shows. There are 2 layers of activated charcoal and polyester fabric that is held together with a military grade velcro.
On average, a bag that is used every day, with rough wear and tear, will last over 2 years claims the manufacturer. For occasional users that only use the bag when traveling, it can last much longer.
